Is David Cameron Becoming Delusional?

Having persuaded himself that he's an outstanding politician and Prime Minister, David Cameron has now decided that he's also a Christian. To underline his commitment he has held an Easter reception in Downing Street and has come out of the closet to declare his religious beliefs. Describing Jesus as "a man of incomparable compassion, generosity, grace, humility and love," he then went on to say that Christianity's message is "do to others as you would have them do to you." This is all very laudable but is also, unfortunately, ludicrous coming from a man who has no compassion, genrosity, grace, humility or love and would never dream of doing to others as he would be done by. Like that other fake Christian in the Tory cabinet, Ian Duncan Smith, David Cameron is simply using religion as a cover for his selfish, unfair and vicious policies. Like Henry VIII who declared himself to be "Defender of the Faith" in order to divorce an unwanted wife, Cameron is wrapping himself in the Bible to inflict untold misery on his fellow countrymen. If he thinks that importing Bronze Age religious mumbo-jumbo direct from the United States will somehow protect him from the guilt of what he's actually doing, then he is truly becoming delusional and would be better of checking himself into the nearest funny farm.
